Visual C++ Pointers to Classes problem

[jtax]

I created a Class C with a member variable: someString. And a function: string getString()
In my main() i have:

C object( "hello" );
C* pointer = &object;
cout << pointer->getString() << endl;

The problem is that it's giving me gibberish. I was wondering if i needed to add a template specialization for pointers of Class C, i.e. template <> Class C<void*> or something like that.

Any suggestions are appreciated,
jtax

If getString() is returning a std::string object, I think you have to write &quot;pointer->getString().c_str()&quot;
